Discuss the differences.
well you are right of course , most royalty inherit their reign although our queen does not rule you could argue she still wields considerable power so maybe the impression of the monarch not ruling is the illusionPureX said:I thought of it a little more philosophically then that. I took it to mean that we can take on the title of a ruler, but in the end, we can never rule people unless they agree to submit. I thought the phrase was a reminder that power is an illusion. But maybe I'm being a bit obtuse, here. I have that tendancy. *smile*
